Experience Summary
I have always enjoyed helping other people learn, and would love to help you in your educational goals! I privately tutor several students, and have experience helping my peers with their assignments and studying. I have volunteered in after-school programs such as "Good News Clubs" and the "Vanderbilt Community Debate Club." I am a teaching assistant in the Vanderbilt Harp Department and in the the Musicology and Ethnomusicology department. I volunteer teaching private music lessons at W.O. Smith Community Music School and also in local middle schools through Vanderbilt Student Volunteers for Science (VSVS). I am a Representative in the Blair School of Music Chapter of the Music Teacher's National Association.
Teaching Style
I love learning, and I want my students to enjoy learning too! One way I do this is by applying the concepts from a tricky subject to the interests of the student. I like to help my students come up with their own ways to process material, so that I'm not only helping them learn the subject at hand, but also learn how to better study in the future.
My Hobbies
While I view my volunteer activities with W.O. Smith and VSVS almost like hobbies, I do enjoy other activities. I enjoy hiking, riding my bike, knitting and crocheting, composing, and getting coffee with my friends in my spare time.
